In a large pot, combine the cubed meat, onion, garlic, scallion, thyme, and scotch bonnet pepper.
Cook over medium heat until the meat is evenly browned on all sides.
Add coconut milk to the pot, along with enough water to cover the ingredients.
Add the cassava, green plantains, yams, pumpkin, and okra to the pot.
Stir well to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and remove the scotch bonnet pepper if you prefer less heat.
Serve hot and enjoy the rich and comforting flavors of Metemgee.
